I'm really liking my new character, but it's really hard to fight dragons sometimes as a stealth character. I was fighting a Blood Dragon, and managed to have him chase me into a Giant camp. The two started beating the shit out of each other while I shot up the dragon with arrows from a safe distance. The dragon went down and the Giant had barely any health left, so I shot him a couple times and he went down too.

Pretty much buy iron ore / bars / leather whenever you're at a vendor who sells it and make tons and tons of iron daggers. For enchanting I guess you can just enchant them. You can also then sell them one by one to increase your speech.
Main story seemed meh. Really short. Then again, who plays this game for that?

0. Get warrior sign.
1. Buy iron ingots, iron and maybe some leather from smiths.
2. Turn iron into iron ingots, turn leather into leather strips.
2.5 Sleep for well rested bonus.
3. Make iron daggers.
4. Repeat process. Wait 48 hours for NPC to restock if you have the coin, otherwise play the game and repeat process once they start selling iron again (and you have the coin to buy them).
Conjurers can do it really easily with bound weapons and the soul stealer perk. Since unfilled gems are much cheaper you can buy every single empty one up to common from every mage in Winterhold and just kill stuff with a Bound Sword. Alternatively, you could make a strong 2 handed soul trap weapon and use it to capture souls: use gems to recharge it, that also levels enchanting a bit. A strong 2 handed is recommended for this because you don't want to use something like a dagger that drains the charge much quicker since it needs more strikes to kill. If you have the money, also buy all the prefilled petty and lesser gems. You can make money by enchanting random weapons you find and sell them to smiths and general goods stores (sell to them, buy from mages
)Is there any spot with a forge, workbench, smelter, grinding stone, and enchanting table near each other?
I use sneak attacks with a soulsteal bow set to 1s.
Most stuff dies in one hit from it.

Hmm. This sounds super familiar to me. There's a ton of music, though, so I'm probably mistaken.

For those with Markarth glitched:
Got a bit of a work-around for it. It's tedious as shit, but it works.
If you tell them to take you to jail, they'll de-aggro you for about 5 seconds. Immediately after telling them to take you to jail, drop out of the conversation. If you're not within their line of sight, they usually stop following you. Just run past them. Once you're in a building that isn't the Palace, you're safe. Do this to get rid of those stupid quest items. I'm hoping I can become the Thane, and it'll snap them out of it..
Also: Be careful when talking to other NPCs about quests. If a guard sees you and you're mid conversation with someone else, they'll just mace you in the skull.

Joke.
I have a quick question about the Mzinchaleft Dwarven dungeon for anyone whose finished it completely:
There's a room in there with some kind of contraption that seems to require an item to activate it. Does anyone know if that item is something you randomly find in the level or is it part of a special quest? The "Find Grimsever" quest took me to this dungeon but I don't have the item it seems and as meticulously as I comb over these dungeons, I haven't come across the the item.
I was more hoping it would be.. closer. The one blacksmith is next to your house which has an alchemy table but no enchanting table :/

I have a question about Solitude
is is possible to save the dude that is about to be executed when you first enter without causing havoc?
Go to the Windhelm market. All of those are there, plus a tanning rack, and an alchemist's shop nearby.

I like the art style, but hate the enemies in those dungeons.I enjoyed it, I love the dwemer dungeons. just have fun and explore.

I don't like either. :/
I go to Riverrun. It has a smith with a forge, workbench, smelter, grinding stone, tanning rack, enchanting table in the blades lady's room in the inn, alchemy table also there, trade store across the street from smithy.
Only downside is no smelter

Where can you buy better arrows?
in the main quest line you get this dwemer cube that can open something just like it in another dwemer dungeon. i'd go back and see if it works in mzinchaleft but i fucking hate dwemer dungeons.
I haven't seen great arrows at shops. In dungeons, though...

My smith got killed by a dragon attack there
I didn't notice until later when I revisted and he was laying on the ground dead LOLThanks man! You saved me time and frustration. I'm cool with them except for the fact that there isn't typically enough enemy types around. I got really excited when it seemed like bandits moved into some of them but those dungeons ALWAYS go deeper and all living variety are replaced with Falmars which wears on you for a long dungeon. I do enjoy Centurion fights but those are rare
Vendors at shops, especially the ones in the first city, carry arrows based on your level. I'm regularly buying ebony arrows there.
I'm 36 and still getting steel arrows in all the shops. My whole game it's been iron or steel.
I haven't checked in a few levels though, maybe I cross a threshold.
From early on, I've been able to find Elven, glass, dwarven and (on occasion) ebony in dungeons. I just use them for tougher enemies, using steel for the fodder.
Maybe you need a better bow? I just got this sick Ebony bow ad even with the low-grade iron arrows, you get some good kills in stealth. Ebony Arrows (rare: I have about 40 now) shot from any enchanted bow deals some amazing damage.

I have a legendary enchanted glass bow
I have ebony, dwarven and glass arrows but not that many of each, maybe 20ish of each =/

So about Fort Dunstad...
I've looked everywhere and can't find it. I googled it too and nobody seems to know.
where the hell is the key to the trap door?

I think I started getting Ebony arrows a few levels back and I'm currently 32. I started getting dwarven and elven arrows in the way back in the 20s. Maybe it's attached to your archery skill rather than your base level... then again my build is primarily 1-handed and conjurer. I only use arrow in stealth so my archery is at 58 after 150 hours.
Shiiiit! You don't need more power.... what'cha trying to do? Break your game-play experience. I use mostly nord arrows... plenty of those... I have about 700+ any any given time and it's no ebony bow but 10 ain't no slouch rating.

Alright, just finished the main quest. Am I missing some sort of epilogue or whatnot, I feel like the game didn't actually end.
Since I went StormCloak, Is Ulfric High King? Whats up with the Thalmor? Bwuh?!

The game does have a shit ending with little to no closure.
If you finish the Stormcloak quests Ulfric isn't officially High King yet, but it's clear the moot will crown him soon. Nothing really significant happens with the Thalmor.
I'm at level 25, Smithing 83 and I can't find Ebony Ingots anywhere
Someone on this page or the last just recomded a location with lots of Ebony ore.
